My 14th Discworld book, and they're still a blast to read. At 437 pages, this may be the longest book in the series. I've also managed to find two of Pratchett's non-Discworld books : Nation and The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents. I'll probably read one of those in the near future.

My review in 50 words or less...
An island appears in the sea midway between Ankh-Morpork and Klatch (think Arabs/Muslims), and although neither country has any use for it, they both will fight to keep the other from occupying it. It's war, by jingo! Great humor, great themes, and well-written. Pratchett roolz!
